A Funny Games "Clip"

.

If you click on over to Warner Independent's website for Michael Haneke's Funny Games remake you can view a new, age-restricted trailer for the film. They're calling it a "clip" but they're lying liars! - it's a few select moments played out a little longer than usual but strung together with some fades to black... which is a trailer. Anyway, here are a couple new grabs:


And no, if you've seen the film you know that second-to-last pic is not a spoiler... but you'll have to have seen the film to understand why. And perhaps being reminded of it infuriates you. (Hi Glenn!) Not I! Anyway, what I also am noticing is that a few of these moments - specifically I speak of Naomi Watts opening up the back of the SUV - are indeed framed differently than they were in the original, so shot-for-shot only means so much, it seems. But only a spazz like I who've seen the original film a dozen times would notice these things.

The film's out here on February 15th.

Even I can tell they're framed differently!

I can't wait for this to come out! I am really interested in seeing this with an audience ( I watched the original at home by myself) just for their reaction (you know when). hehehe...

I'm cautiously excited for this movie! But. I have the original near the top of my Netflix queue. Anyone have an opinion as to which I should watch first? I think I'll probably break and watch the original veryvery soon because all of the hints about twists and such are KILLING ME. (In the best way, of course!)
